A Germantown man was sentenced to 48 years in prison -- 10 years more than the sentencing guidelines recommend -- for robbing and slashing the throat of an 80-year-old woman.
Elwood Green, 20, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Circuit Court to second-degree attempted murder and faced 22 to 38 years. But Judge Louise G. Scrivener imposed the harsher sentence because of the violence of the attack and the vulnerability of the elderly woman.
"This was a heinous crime against a particularly vulnerable victim," said State's Attorney John J. McCarthy. "Elwood Green preyed on those he knew he could overpower easily."
